Trip to Paonta Sahib

It has been long since I added an entry to my blog. I have been away to Paonta Sahib in Himachal  Pradesh on an Official Trip. We have our client's factory 'Malwa Cotton Spinning Mills' located there. So I was there for about a month or so, away from Delhi, from the crowd and all the population and the pollution.

About Paonta Sahib:

Surrounded by the Sal forest and on the bank of  river Yamuna the historic town of Paonta Sahib(398m) was founded by the tenth Sikh Guru Govind Singh Ji. When only sixteen years old, the guru left Anandpur Sahib and on the invitation of Raja Maidini Prakash of Sirmour, lived at this beautiful place for over four years. The historic gurudwara commemorates his stay and interestingly the waters of the Yamuna fall   silently below this -which happened at the Guru's behest. The word 'Paonta' means 'Space for a foot hold'. The only place that is the main attraction of Paonta Sahib is Gurudwara Paonta Sahib. It’s a small town and can be covered in half an hour.

Living in Paonta gets quite boring at times. You don't have any swanky malls and multiplexes to blow your money out or to just hang out. There is only one decent restaurant 'Mezbaan' where we used to eat out dinner sometimes. Life was quiet a bit boring and slow there. It’s good to go out there for few days and enjoy your holidays but staying there for a longer duration is a big no no.

 So I am back in Delhi now. Am going through my 'Professional ASP.NET 2.0' book and also thinking of starting a blog where I can write about the technical stuff like .NET and everything related to computers. Let's see when I am not that Lazy and make my mind and hands move. And I am also seriously thinking of add few things to my website (Although I have been thinking about this for long). My home page looks pretty boring and I am an owner of no content website. I am planning to format my computer install ASP.NET 2.0 in it and then make a new website and fill it with few contents. PLANS, my checklist on my blog... :)
